Question
If she will meet representatives of Adfree Cities to discuss high-carbon advertising. The Adfree Cities campaign is very significant. Most of us have seen flashing coloured screens proliferate in our towns and cities, and much more densely in other countries, such as France and Germany. Not only do these screens use a lot of energy and electricity, but they are very invasive of people's dwellings.
Answer from Graham Stuart
The Advertising Standards Authority is responsible for regulating advertising in the UK across traditional forms of media, and it takes environmental issues seriously. I encourage the hon. Gentleman to approach the ASA directly with that request, as it operates independently of Government.
Not addressed: Specific measures or commitments regarding high-carbon advertising proliferation were not addressed.
How: Encouraged Approaching A Different Organisation
